CityWater CA
Now in beta

Modern public-works software for small water utilities.

Work orders, inspections, and asset records — built specifically for municipal water, sewer, and storm crews. Without the consultants, the procurement, or the six-figure price tag.

Built for the gap between paper and a six-figure CMMS.

If your utility is too small for an enterprise CMMS but too big for a spreadsheet, you've probably tried both. The spreadsheet gets out of sync within a month. The enterprise quotes start at six figures, take a year to deploy, and require a GIS team you don't have.

That's the gap CityWater fills. It's a modern, opinionated work-management tool that already knows what a hydrant flush is, what a PACP code means, and what a maintenance district is — without making you configure any of it.

Fig. 01 — A supervisor's view of today: open work, by area, with the KPIs utilities actually report up.

What's in the box.

Work orders that match how crews actually work.

Recurring schedules for the things you do every month. Daily groupings that bundle service requests into a tomorrow-morning run. Checklist-driven drafts so nobody starts from a blank page.

Inspections with the codes you already use.

PACP for sewer CCTV, hydrant flow tests, valve exercising — preloaded, not something you build out of a generic form-builder.

A map that knows your service areas.

Maintenance districts, water/sewer/storm systems, open work, and active requests — all visible at once, color-coded by area.

A dashboard your supervisor will actually open.

Daily KPIs, by-area workload, pass/fail trends, and a daily-WO view that turns yesterday's service requests into tomorrow's plan.

Send us your SOPs. Get a tenant that matches them.

Email me your top procedures — work types, inspection forms, anything specific to how your department operates. I'll set up your tenant to match: your workflows, your forms, your service areas, your reporting cadences. We refine together as you use it.

This is white-glove setup, not enterprise consulting. No statement of work, no implementation phases, no Gantt chart. We figure out what you need in conversation, and adjust as you use it.

Who it's for.

For you

If you run public works for a town between 5,000 and 50,000 people and Excel is starting to crack under the load, this is for you.

Not for you

If you've got a six-figure CMMS deployment with a dedicated GIS team to run it, you're not the target — and that's fine.

CityWater is built solo and currently in early beta.

A few things to know up front: data may be migrated or reset before general availability, you'll find rough edges, and there's no support contract — just a real human reading every email. If you run a utility and want to help shape what this becomes, that's exactly who I'm looking for.
